I am looking for some suggestions to pass along to a graduate student
who is interested in superstition in Victorian England. I suppose
that this would involve the response of the churches, the medical
profession, and educated people in general to aspects of popular
religion and culture. Possibly nineteenth-century folklorists did
relevant research on contemporary populations. I have difficulty in
identifying secondary and primary sources that focus on Victorian
superstition.
